Take advantage of the gorgeous weather while you can with Puff-n-Sip Bar Golf. So is bar golf, you may ask? A good old fashioned pub crawl with a twist. In bar golf, each bar has a particular "par" value - the goal is to get the highest score, and to get a high score you've gotta have a drink at each hole/bar. This crawl is themed Caddyshack, so bust out your best 80s golf gear and get going! Head to the site for more info and to sign up.
